What the numbers say

In 2026, Congo has 11 nationwide public holidays and Central African Republic has 12, so Central African Republic gets 1 more day off. They line up on 8 dates, including Jour de l'An, Lundi de Pâques, Fête du Travail and Ascension.

What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Congo has 7 on working days (4 fall on a weekend), against 9 for Central African Republic (3 on a weekend).

For short breaks, Congo offers 4 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 2 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Central African Republic offers 4 and 5. Central African Republic has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is May in Congo and May in Central African Republic.
